Key Features and Specifications

At the heart of the Linksys WRT3200ACM is a powerful 1.8GHz dual-core processor, which helps the router manage multiple data streams simultaneously. This is particularly important for a router with MU-MIMO (Multi-User, Multiple Input, Multiple Output) capabilities, as it allows for more efficient data handling when multiple devices are connected. Other notable specifications include:

  •  Tri-Stream 160 technology, effectively tripling the bandwidth on the 5GHz band to achieve faster speeds.

  •  512MB of RAM and 256MB of flash memory.

  •  Four Gigabit Ethernet ports for wired connections.

  •  One USB 3.0 port and a combo USB 2.0/eSATA port for sharing storage devices or printers.

The Linksys WRT3200ACM shines when it comes to speed and throughput. In our tests, the router delivered impressive speeds, particularly on the 5GHz band, where it took full advantage of the Tri-Stream 160 technology. The 2.4GHz band also performed well, providing solid coverage and reliable connectivity even with multiple devices connected.

Open Source Firmware Compatibility

For those who like to tinker with their router’s firmware, the Linksys WRT3200ACM is compatible with open-source firmware options such as OpenWRT. This allows for a higher degree of customization and the ability to add features not included in the stock firmware.
